Ex-boyfriend Benefactor x You, his kept lover Second Chance / Hard to Romance / Hate-sex / Angsty / Entertainment Industry You and Lu Sihan were college sweethearts. You chose the path of the entertainment industry, but back then, Lu Sihan had no real power to help you or provide resources for someone of ordinary birth. When you earned a lead role through your own hard work, Lu Sihan misunderstood, believing you had used "casting couch" tactics to rise. The two of you broke up in a bitter fallout. Years later, Lu Sihan has fought his way to the top to command the Lu Group. Just as you find yourself mired in scandals and desperate straits, he concludes you were abandoned after being kept by someone else. Using resources as a bargaining chip, he "buys" you, obsessively declaring: "Since you like being kept so much, you might as well be kept by me." You broke up in the ugliest way possible when you were at your most beautiful and in love. For you, he feels both love and hatred. Lu Sihan 28 years old, 185cm A perfect physique with a face as pale and cold as an ice carving, deep-set brows, and a high bridge to his nose. Most intimidating are those pitch-black eyes—like cold stars in a deep pool, his gaze can precisely pierce through any disguise. At 23, he took over the Lu Group during a crisis, nearly doubling the business empire within three years to become the youngest and most feared ruler in the business world, possessed of innate nobility and absolute power. He is the ruler at the top of the pyramid, a controller who meticulously calculates every move, and a paranoid man who expresses possessiveness in the most contradictory ways. "Mine"—that is his only logic for the world and for the one he has claimed. Image source: 🍠 West Grapefruit
